How long after a miscarriage should you have no HCG levels? Can you still have them 3 months later?
I have had two normal periods since a natural miscarriage in Dec. I was 7 weeks along. Never had any blood tests after the miscarriage. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

i would say that if you have had 2 normal periods since your miscarriage then if you are getting a positive on a preggy test then you are pregnant. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have tested just before my period and the line is super faint. I know you shouldnt read stuff on the internet but I was googling and it said you can have some HCG levels for a while after but wasn't sure how long after. I guess I will wait a few days and not get my hopes up.

Hi pikelets, I'm not sure but from my experience I miscarried naturally on 10 Jan and had my last BT around 10 Feb which showed my levels were still 20. I have had a period since then so I'm guessing they would be back to zero.
Good luck! Are you going to get bloods done? |

Thanks. I will call my MW this week and see what she says. I guess I will have bloods to double check and then if definately positive will monitor the levels. Fingers crossed.
Sorry about your recent loss LR. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi Pikelets, I'm so sorry for your loss.
I was talking to my specialist on Friday and he said that once you've got a period your HCg levels will be back to normal. You can't have a proper period without your Hcg being back to >5. There needs to be 20 days between bleeds for it to actually be AF, otherwise it could be residual bleeding. 2 weeks after my miscarriage I still have a faint positive on a HPT (Cruel) but hopefully it's back to normal soon and AF arrives. xx ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  Two Precious Angel Babies 2010 / 2011

That is cruel, isn't it. I know after my miscarriage I still kept hoping and praying it was all a bad dream and I was still pregnant. Pikelets, holding thumbs for you!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

My doc said same thing as princess bubs is saying, cant have a normal period if there is residual HCG floating around. All the best 4 a sticky bub this time xx |

Thank you ladies. Makes me feel better that it is not my body playing tricks on me. Another test was positive, no sign of AF so should be 4 weeks 2 days. So will just wait for 2-3 weeks before we have a scan and see what happens. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
